"Where is the princess going in such a hurry?" Yu Wenhua and slowly spoke, and from time to time smoothed his beard.

"I happened to be passing by, and I wanted to ask my eldest brother for a glass of water, but when I saw that the door was open, but there was no movement inside, I guess there must be a traitor who came to harm my eldest brother." There was a sound of weapons colliding from behind, and Ruyue could already predict that there must be a soldier standing behind me, so she simply continued, "But then I thought about it, traitors dare to harm even the pride of the sky, don't say Ruyue's life, since this is the case, it is better to turn back and die with my eldest brother." ”

After saying that, she turned around, did not squint at anyone, and walked into the Shuren Village.

At this time, the crown princess Xiao was holding a "Hongmen Banquet" in the East Palace, under the banner of praying for the saints, she invited the family of the princes and generals who came from afar to report on their work. No one doubted it, only Li Shimin, who had gauze on his face and claimed to be "accidental wind and cold, but it was difficult to be gracious", and Yang Lin, who was drinking leisurely, they knew that when they were not reporting on their work, they called on all the princes to return to Chang'an in the name of the East Palace, and now they have set up this "Hongmen Banquet" to threaten officials with their families, I am afraid that they will wait for the big guy to wake up tomorrow. The world is about to change hands.

Li Shimin's trip was just to find Mu Qingyang, he was not here in the world, he was not interested, but for some reason he was a little worried about Ruyue's comfort. I don't know how to eat this meal.

Yang Lin concentrated on dealing with the wine and food, he was an idle cloud and a wild crane, and regardless of his wife and children, he also ate happily at this banquet, besides, Guang'er is indeed a rare king's talent, and there is sacrifice when there is a throne, but it is a pity that the kind and generous prince is a pity. He didn't worry about Ruyue's comfort at all, and when he was in high spirits, he hummed a few words with the people on the stage.

Ruyue walked into Shuren Village, the yard was in a mess, the pot rack under the big locust tree had been kicked over, the sweet porridge was flowing all over the ground, Liu Xu had been beaten to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, his mouth was still glued with tape, and he was tied up by two soldiers, her eldest brother and Yun'er were uninjured and were held by the sabers around their necks, and countless forbidden soldiers in armor surrounded Yang Guang, ready to go, and he was actually wearing a dragon robe and a golden crown. Play with an edict in your hand.

Ruyue sighed: "It seems that Ruyue is making the second brother anxious, so now that Ruyue has come, let the show begin." ”

The sky had begun to darken, and there were forbidden soldiers holding torches, and the whole courtyard was brightly lit.

Yang Guang casually led the edict with a torch and deliberately threw it next to Liu Xu, who struggled but was helpless.

"Heh~" Yang Guang sneered, and turned to Yang Yong, "It seems that the old thing is in a hurry to see you, and he hasn't even dried the ink." ”

"I don't intend to fight with you anymore, and I have no intention of the throne, now bring your people back, I don't think anything has happened, I will be in this Shuren Village, and I will accompany my Yun'er for the rest of my life." Ruyue's eldest brother smiled at Yun'er in his arms, as if to stabilize her emotions. Yun'er's beaded flowers had fallen to the ground, her face was pale, and her hair was messy.

This warm scene seemed to stimulate Yang Guang, he rudely dragged Yun'er, leaned over and was about to kiss him.

"Fuck off." Ruyue rushed up and knocked Yang Guang away, Yun'er was already trembling, and tears fell down like a broken pearl necklace.

"You promised me that you would let my eldest brother go." Ruyue stood in front of Yun'er, pretending to be calm, but her palms were sweaty.

"I promised you that it would be fine if he stayed here in peace, but didn't you see it? All my edicts have come down. Yang Guang lifted Ruyue's chin with his fingertips and squinted his eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous signal.

"Yang Guang, let go of Ruyue!" Yang Yong seemed to be enraged, the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, and his neck was cut by the blade with faint bloodstains.

Yun'er finally cried: "Ah Yong! As he spoke, he was about to run to Yang Yong's side, but was stopped by the soldiers, Yang Guang gave him a look, and the soldiers who pulled him began to untie her clothes, Yun'er seemed to be frightened and struggled desperately.

"You can't-" Ruyue immediately became anxious, rushing up to protect Yun'er, but she was also forcibly stopped.

In an instant, Yun'er's snow-white skin leaked into the air, which made her belly pocket even more red, and her screams of collapse and the heavy panting of soldiers filled the entire courtyard. The soldier's hand wandered restlessly over her body, Yun'er struggled desperately, and in a panic, she hit her head on the big locust tree, and the blood on her head gushed out—"What is the feeling of despair?" It's like now—" A perverted smile appeared on Yang Guang's face.

Yang Yong didn't know when Lu Dao had knelt on the ground: "Ah Guang, big brother, please, let Yun'er go-" Liquid flowed down the tip of Yang Yong's straight nose, he lowered his head Ruyue couldn't see his expression clearly, the sense of despair in his body infected Ruyue, Ruyue didn't know where the strength came from, snatched the knife from the soldier's hand, and put it on his neck.

"Yang Guang." She slammed the blade into her neck, and blood fell to the ground along the blade, "Let that beast stop, or I'll die in front of you!" Ruyue almost cried out.

"You threaten me with death?!" Yang Guang had a low face, "There is no one in this world who is not working hard to live, do you think I will be fooled?" As he spoke, he walked towards Ruyue step by step.

"You can try!" Ruyue pointed a knife at him, and then, waved her hand and stabbed her arm, "Didn't my mother commit suicide?" I'm dying in front of you now to accompany her! "Let's end it like this, Ruyue's eyes are full of bloodshot and the desire to die, if you die, you don't have to face all the intrigues, if you die, you don't have to face the life and death with anyone - Yang Guang was stunned, it seemed that he was back in that bloody afternoon, he couldn't help but stop, and also signaled the soldier to stop, Yun'er threw herself into Yang Yong's arms covered in blood, almost crying, Yang Yong hugged Yun'er in distress.

Ruyue seemed to have exhausted all her strength, and there was blood on her neck and arms, but she didn't feel pain, and sat on the ground in a daze. Immediately, a soldier came and snatched the weapon from her hand.

"I know that I don't die is not enough to make you feel at ease-" Yang Yong slowly raised his head, his eyes were not desolate, "Actually, the eldest brother understands you, and you must not have the kindness of a woman to become a king, even if you are a brother, but, Ah Mi, can you spare your sister-in-law's life?" After that, she was just a country woman, and she had nothing to do with the palace. ”

Ah Mi - Ruyue's heart warmed, tears flowed down her eyes, she had long heard her eldest brother say that he had the most cordial relationship with Yang Guang when he was young, and Ah Mi was originally Yang Guang's name, and only those close to him knew about it. Even Ruyue once made a good chestnut cake with nectar in the imperial dining room, and the eldest brother suddenly said to himself: "Ah Mi likes the chestnut cake with honey the most." Only then did he know his name, but everything changed completely after Yang Guang returned to the fiefdom, he was no longer the younger brother who was satisfied with the chestnut cake after his brother, he began to doubt, began to speculate, began to covet, began to frame, he used to respect and love the eldest brother the most.

Yang Guang didn't know what it was like in his heart, but he must not be soft, he only knew it in an instant. He could only pretend to be indifferent, the murderous aura in his eyes did not change a little because of this, he walked over to uncover the adhesive tape that was glued to Liu Xu's mouth, only to see Liu Xu scolding: "If it weren't for you to defile-" Before he finished speaking, he was punched in the stomach by Yang Guang, and blood flowed out of the corners of his mouth.

Yang Guang was still smiling, "Lord Liu is so loyal to the protector, but you can sing and cry, but the adult only cares about the protector and forgets that he still has a wife, children and mother to protect?" ””

"You-" The anger in Liu Xu's eyes darkened little by little, and the voice of the most reluctant was a little trembling, "Wechen is willing to accept the guilt, but the female relatives in the family don't know about the minister's crimes, and hope-" He paused for a moment and continued to speak with difficulty, "The emperor left them alive-"

"Whoever turns against me here today will die." Yang Guang continued to speak lightly, and pulled me up again, "Except for her." ”

Ruyue's mind suddenly went blank, and she remembered the longing face of her second sister: "I only want to deal with firewood, rice, oil and salt." "I think of the scene where my eldest brother warmly wiped the sweat for Yun'er, I remembered the vicissitudes of my father's face, and a voice in her heart kept telling me: to save them, to save them - touching the cold jade seal in his sleeve, that is the only hope for my father, but my father Ruyue has never been in the world, Ruyue would rather use your so-called lifelong world to exchange for my eldest brother and sister-in-law's eyebrows.

Thinking of this, Ruyue quickly broke free of Yang Guang's arm, most of the people were ready to transfer, and they all walked at the door, only she was alone, standing at the bottom of the big locust tree, her voice trembling: "I don't care who is the emperor, I just want to make a deal with you now." ”

She took out the jade seal from her sleeve, and when the wind blew, she wiped the dried blood at the corner of her mouth: "I know that you don't even care about the edict, and you don't care if someone says that you have rebelled, presumably the princes and nobles have taken care of it, Ruyue now just wants to exchange the jade seal for the life of the person who opposes you in the second brother's mouth - the second brother is about to become the son of heaven, how can he use killing to rush the joy?" Banish them to the market, and they will never disturb the second brother's rich life—"

"What if I say no?" Yang Guang said.

"Then I can't help it." Ruyue smiled sadly at him, "I will destroy it and die with my eldest brother." ”

"It's just a piece of broken jade, it's only enough to buy the lives of two of the three of them." Yang Guang chuckled, turned his head to Yang Yong and said, "Aren't you full of benevolence, righteousness and morality all day long, and the world is alive?" How about exchanging your life for them? ”
